The U.S. Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command Joint Base Lewis-McChord has awarded a firm-fixed-price task order, solicitation W911S826FA145, to HDR Environmental, Operations and Construction for architectural and engineering services. Valued at 1.4 million dollars, the contract supports the Army Material Command in the planning, design, and construction oversight of the Rotational Unit Billeting Area at Fort Polk, Louisiana. The project scope includes the development of barracks, latrines, headquarters, and security facilities, with a specific focus on integrating innovative 3-D construction printing prototypes to enhance military readiness and support contingency operations. The contract is a sole-source award justified under FAR 16.507-6(b)(1) and 10 U.S.C. 3406(c)(1) due to an urgent need to avoid unacceptable delays to the 3-D printing prototype project. Selection was based on the contractor's demonstrated competence and prior performance on a similar project at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The base period of performance runs from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027. This procurement was executed through the Air Force AE Next Program Pool 4, utilizing a qualifications-based selection process rather than a lowest-price technically acceptable evaluation.
